WENZELL & BUGGE

ABOUT

WENZELL & BUGGE is a Danish duo collaboration between the award-winning folk violinist Kristian Bugge and the international percussionist Ronni Kot Wenzell.

The duo met at the music conservatory in Denmark where they studied and worked together on different projects. Quickly, they felt a mutual energetic approach to music, and decided to start playing together, mixing the traditional folk music with the classical percussion world. The duo quickly got very popular and has since then performed 50-60 concerts a year on international basis.

Due to the increase in their individual international careers, they now only meet up for selected tours and bigger events around the world, such as The Olympic Games in Rio.

REPERTOIRE

The unique constellation between traditional folk and classical percussion presents a brand new, fresh and different universe. The music - ranging from the highly energetic, physically demanding music to the dreamier and lyrical fairytale world - are from both the classical and folk repertoire, as well as from different places around the world such as Turkey, Canada, South America, and Scandinavia, including several Danish islands and traditional areas.

The music is definitely far from what one would otherwise encounter in everyday life, but is yet building on two big musical worlds (folk and classical music).
